I’ve tried more expensive and trendy ones, but nothing beats the quality for the price. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t clump, and lasts all day. My lashes look fuller without feeling heavy. It’s affordable, dependable, and just works. Definitely a staple in my makeup bag!

I don't know what the company did but they ruined a perfectly good mascara. It feels like it is waterproof, will not come off when washing my face and is overall a terrible mascara and does not work at all like it used to. No longer thickens, seperates and coats like the previous formula. Will be returning.

Pleasantly surprised with the deep burgundy color. I do put on two coats to get full coverage. Also I can wear this for several hours without my eyes getting irritated.

I've been using this mascara for years, and didn't realize they reformulated it. It flakes even when I just put it on, and the flakes get in my eyes - I consider this a health hazard. Plus, something in it makes my eyes burn. I bought this in a two-pack, and it will just go to waste. Wish they still made the old version - it was great.

Have you changed the formula back yet? As you can see by all of the negative reviews, it was a detrimental mistake to change formula when you have had loyal customers for 20+ years. Now we are all spending money on other brands trying to find our new holy grail mascara when I could have just continued to purchase my monthly tubes of voluminous!! LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS, CHANGE IT BACK!!! I won't be purchasing ANYTHING from Loreal until you fix this horrible mistake!!!

I have been using this product for 20+ years. Now it’s absolutely terrible. Not much in the tube and feels dried out. It also flakes off everywhere now. It used to glide on and lashes stayed in place. Now it flakes off in my eyes and lashes are flimsy so I’ve switched to a different brand. Voluminous blackest black used to be the best. I’m so disappointed you changed the formula.

Used to be my holy grail product until the recent formula change on the non-waterproof kind. The new formula smudges, is difficult to remove, and really irritates my eyes and makes them tear up... things that NEVER happened with the old version. Hate to say but I will not be purchasing again. Throwing this tube out. Bring back the original verson!

You claim it's the same original formula, however, the last two batches that I've gotten are a 1000% different and have fibers. It is a shame because your formula was incredible for so many years, did not need the fibers, I don't see a positive difference with the fibers just annoyance on removal and sometimes I just don't want the fibers on my lashes. So no benefit of adding them. please go back to the old formula or revise your marketing accordingly, as it's not the same original formula

My favorite blue mascara by far, and I’ve gone through a few. This brand and version in general is so good. It’s the only one that doesn’t really flake and holds well for my straight eyelashes. I also like that it removes easily in water.
